Master of the Demon Emperor

Ling Sang smiled and said, "The shaving of the head is to dispel distractions of the five senses, a ritual all disciples must undergo when entering the temple. However, you are the Sacred Body of Qiling and can never truly belong to the Buddhist sect. We are merely guiding you, so you need not undergo the shaving."

Upon hearing this, Nan Xiaopao's face lit up with joy.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Sang turned to Su Yie and the Crimson Flame Lion King and said, "I noticed you a few days earlier. Why did you hesitate until now to come?"

Already noticed?

Su Yie responded with a question, "Since you knew we had arrived, why did you pretend to drive us away?"

Ling Sang looked deeply into Su Yie's eyes and said, "Half-Demon, you are not simple."

Su Yie gave a slight smile and did not respond, but instead turned to Nan Xiaopao and said, "Train well, I will come to see you later."

Nan Xiaopao nodded vigorously, her eyes moistening.

Following this, she would be parted from Su Yie by the distance between their races.

"You take her up first, I have something to say to this young man."

Ling Sang instructed the nuns behind her, and her address for Su Yie shifted from Half-Demon to young man.

The nuns nodded and immediately escorted Nan Xiaopao up the mountain.

They took her hand, stepped into the air, and rode the wind away, just like Chang'e who ascended to the moon after consuming the elixir of immortality.

Nan Xiaopao kept looking back, while Su Yie stood rooted in place, tilting his head back, his face beaming with the brightest smile as he watched her depart.

Su Yie also felt some distress in his heart, but for the sake of Nan Xiaopao's future journey, it had to be this way.

In university, she had provided him warmth.

After coming to the Ancient Wilderness, she also strove to bring joy to Su Yie.

He had grown accustomed to her presence.

"Don't worry, the previous Sacred Body of Qiling was my master, I will treat her well," Ling Sang said, drawing Su Yie's attention back to her.

For some reason, her gaze towards Su Yie softened.

"I hope the abbot treats her well, she's still a child," Su Yie said earnestly, placing his trust in Jiaye Temple after making various inquiries.

Ling Sang nodded slightly, then fixed her eyes on Su Yie and said, "You must be the Demon Lord of Yaojian Mountain, aren't you?"

Su Yie narrowed his eyes, startled, and could only admit, "How did the abbot know?"

"Your brilliance is too conspicuous, which is not a good thing," Ling Sang said, shifting her tone without answering.

Su Yie frowned. Was this a lecture?

Or a warning?

"Your physique is extraordinary, even more notorious than the Sacred Body of Qiling. Should it be discovered by the mighty, you will be doomed," Ling Sang continued.

The Crimson Flame Lion King rolled his eyes. He was good at intimidating.

No, intimidating demons.

Su Yie nodded, then bowed his hands and said, "Thank you for the warning, abbot. I will take my leave now."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing Ling Sang's demeanor, it was clear she had no intention of asking him to stay.

Moreover, her words made him quite uncomfortable, so he decided to leave.

Ling Sang nodded, watching as Su Yie and the Crimson Flame Lion King turned and walked into the forest, her eyes flickering with thoughts unknown.

Only after Su Yie had gone did she softly sigh, "Strange fates descend upon the Mystical City, the Sacred Body Qiling, the Zi Wei Demon Star—the great calamity is coming. What role will you play?"

Having said this, she turned and flew back to Jiaye Temple.

Su Yie and the Crimson Flame Lion King stopped five miles away.

He sat halfway up the mountain and said, "Let's wait a few days."

The Crimson Flame Lion King understood that he was worried about Nan Xiaopao. He lay down beside him, yawned and asked, "Demon Lord, it is said that the Sacred Body of Qiling will slaughter the living. Will you be able to control the Demon Empress in the future?"

Su Yie rolled his eyes and retorted, "If you can't control her, she'll kill you first!"

"Why, though?" the Crimson Flame Lion King exclaimed in shock.

"Because you always bring up the Imp Empress in front of her."

"..."

The Crimson Flame Lion King fell into fear, while Su Yie, uninterested in consoling him, began to rest with his eyes closed.

Although he was resting, he was actually eavesdropping on Emperor Su's Sect's chat.

As dusk approached, Demon Wolf Star suddenly called for help.

Demon Wolf Star: Emperor Su! Emperor Su! Help, it's urgent!

Demon Lord Qing Yan: Just go to hell. You're always shouting; doesn't your mother sleep?

Demon Wolf Star: How could a cultivator like me comfortably sleep?

Emperor Su: What's the reason for your distress?

Demon Wolf Star: I've messed up... I tried to raid the Mysterious Ancestor's Tomb, but ended up offending the Heaven Stealer Sect, and now they are blocking my way…

Black Tiger Emperor: Hahaha, you little thief, you must have mocked the Heaven Stealer Sect's thieving skills compared to yours, what are you?

...

Su Yie couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, listening to Demon Wolf Star's plight; it really was a tragic story.

The Mysterious Ancestor's Tomb was located outside the Seven Dynasties, not far from Jiaye Temple; it would take about two or three days to reach.

Knowing that many treasures had recently been unearthed there, Demon Wolf Star set his sights on them, only to encounter a Heaven Stealer Sect cultivator. The fool, not knowing any better, mocked the thieving skills of the Heaven Stealer Sect.

The Heaven Stealer Sect, not part of the regular righteous or demonic paths of the Seven Dynasties, was a force to reckon with, no weaker than the Demon Sect or the Qingyi Sect. Usually keeping a low profile, they were rarely noticed by others.

So, the offended Heaven Stealer Sect cultivator sent out a message, and within an hour, hundreds of Heaven Stealer Sect disciples gathered at the Mysterious Ancestor's Tomb, trapping him inside without daring to breathe, more miserable than Elder Lord Qi Yang had ever been.

At that moment, Black Tiger Emperor, Elder Lord Qi Yang, Demon Lord Qing Yan, Li Zuxuan, and the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands were all relentlessly mocking him, making his suffering indescribable.

Emperor Su: Hang in there for two days; these two days are your test. If you survive, it proves your worth, and I will send the Divine Shadow Legion to the Lower Realm to rescue you.

Demon Wolf Star: Damn it! Two days!

Wuu You: You dare to raid the Mysterious Ancestor's Tomb, aren't you afraid of divine retribution?

Overlord Luo Fu: Tsk tsk, those Heaven Stealer Sect guys are ruthless. Offending them, even if we save you this time, you'll still have a lot of trouble in the future.

Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: Overlord Luo Fu, I am about to arrive at your Demon Palace, may I challenge you to a battle?

While Demon Wolf Star was howling in despair, Xia Tianyi actually challenged Overlord Luo Fu.

This shifted the group's focus, making Xia Tianyi the main subject.

Su Yie immediately got up, deciding to rescue Demon Wolf Star first and then return to see what was happening.

It seemed that even if Jiaye Temple had any malice toward Nan Xiaopao, it wouldn't act so swiftly.

This was the second time members of Emperor Su's Sect had requested his help. He had to take action, especially since his opponent was the mysterious and formidable Heaven Stealer Sect, which could intimidate the major forces within the sect.

"Stay here, I'll be out for a few days but will come back for you," he said.

Su Yie dropped a comment and left, as Demon Wolf Star had already shared the location of the Mysterious Ancestor's Tomb, conveniently mentioning Jiaye Temple.

The Crimson Flame Lion King blinked, not having time to respond before Su Yie was already hundreds of meters away.

...

In a mysterious underground palace, Demon Wolf Star hid in a corner of the corridor. The place was utterly dark, and he leaned against the wall, two large stones blocking him, positioned in a triangular fashion against the wall.

If there were no lights, one could not find him with the naked eye.

He tried his best to conceal his breath, fearing to alarm the enemy.

In this pitch-dark corner, Demon Wolf Star was trapped in an unparalleled fear.

He kept calling for help inside Emperor Su's Sect, but Emperor Su no longer responded, and the other members of Emperor Su's Sect were all discussing Xia Tianyi's challenge to Overlord Luo Fu, plunging his heart into a deep abyss of despair.

"A bunch of bastards... If I survive this, I'll annoy you every day so you won't get a word in!"
